The Jared Polis Foundation is committed to enhancing technology learning opportunities for Colorado's children. Through its partnership with the Community Computer Connection, computers donated by individuals and corporations are refurbished and distributed to schools and nonprofits for a small administrative fee.

The foundation has created a technology mini-grant program to enhance and expand the utility of these computers or other existing classroom technology. Grants for up to $1,500 may be requested for hardware, such as digital or video cameras, interactive whiteboards, and interactive response systems, tablets, e-readers, chromebooks or to purchase software, technology curriculum, or pay technology conference registration fees. Teacher applicants can request tablets and chromebooks, but they should not request wi-fi access or capital improvements to support technology. Because the Community Computer Connection provides computers, requests may not be made for laptop or desktop computers.

Eligibility: All Colorado Public School Teachers, grades PreK-12, are invited to apply.

Grant Amount: $1,500

Grant Award Details: We do offer a maximum award of up to $1,500, but please be thoughtful in your request. Most of our grants fall below the $1,500 maximum.
